- simple question can any animal generate magnetic field ( even from their own electric potentials ) .........no !
- Water is dimagnetic, which means that it exerts a weak magnetic field, and repels other magnetic fields. If a magnet is suspended over water, the water's dimagnetism will repel the magnet. This weakens the magnet's effect on other objects. When salt is added to water, it weakens the water's magnetic field further, so that it ceases to have any significant effect on other magnetic fields. Problem at your statement is magnet permealibility of salt water which cause magnetic field
- when you dive with magnets on hands or legs you cause static magnetic field ( that moves very very very slow ) and not alternating magnet field. Animals produce static electric fields (DC ) and not alternating (AC)
(PS : shaking magnet in coil in some batterys- you made AC current , for DC you need - diode and you get ''half wave DC '' not clean DC and you have far lower power than clean DC .
good luck with sharks
Perhaps you should go edit the Wikipedia page to let them know it's all wrong? You could also get some good scientific publications by proving that all the scientists who have been publishing on this issue are conpletely wrong. Go for it
Magnetic shark repellent - Wikipedia
Hey Steve, as I said in the very first sentence of this post, getting attacked by sharks is a rare thing. However, 155 people were attacked in 2017, so obviously it does happen.
Why test your luck, when for $1 you could put a magnet on you that drastically reduces the odds of you being 1 of the 155, with no down sides?
If they discovered a flaw in your scuba tank that causes it to explode 1 out of 100,000 times and there was a $1 preventative fix for it, would you be arguing against using that too?
